Lovable Little Tree Huggers is celebrating our 2nd birthday on May 5th!

Last year we had a lot of fun celebrating our first
birthday with our "Natural Parenting in Action," photo contest.  We had some
great pictures submitted and a mad fight for "likes" to determine the winner of a $50 Lovable Little Tree Huggers gift certificate.

We have spent some time pondering what to do to celebrate our 2nd birthday and we are very excited to announce the "Send ME a Sling," contest!  

Maybe it's the beautiful spring weather we've been having, or the fact that I myself have a newborn who is constantly in a sling or wrap, but lately I've just been feeling like... 

MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE BABYWEARING!!  

I see people at the farmer's market,  awkwardly trying to balance their baby as well as the fruits and veggies they have purchased...I see moms at the park, unable to play with their toddler
because they can't stop moving the baby's stroller back and forth for fear their little one will start wailing...I hear about moms and dads who get take out far more than they'd like simply because they can't put their baby down during those crazy hours of 4-7pm, without the baby having a complete meltdown (which we all know can lead to mom or dad...or both...having a complete meltdown too!).

And so, we're giving away a ring sling! However, if you already have a ring sling, don't think you can't enter! You could choose a mesh water sling or a panda wrap instead so you have multiple ways to babywear! 

Here's how the 'Send ME a Sling' contest works:
- Take a picture (or have someone take one) of you
and your little one that shows how badly YOU need a sling, and give the picture
a caption.

- Become our fan on facebook (if you aren't already) and post your
picture(s) to the wall, with a caption (be creative, be witty, have fun!)
 
- Every day, I will put the pictures that have been posted into the "Send ME
a Sling!" photo album on the facebook page.

- Vote...and get your friends to vote!  Make sure you vote in the album, not on
the pictures posted on the wall. 

- On May 5th a 7:00 pm, the picture with the most 'likes' will win a Sewfunky ring
sling!

- As a bonus to all who enter the contest, if you post a picture but do not win, you will receive 5% off any sling or wrap that you purchase in the next 6 month!   

Rules:
- You must be 18 yrs. old and a legal resident of Canada to enter.
- You must be a fan of the facebook page to enter photos in the contest.
- You may post as many pictures as you want.
- Contest closes May 5th at 7pm.

Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
 

 
 
Today Lovable Little Tree Huggers celebrates our first birthday!!

I need to take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has encouraged and supported me in the last year.  This has been such a great learning experience and I feel so blessed to be where I am only one year later! 

I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Sarah Otten, the winner of our Natural parenting in Action photo contest that was held to celebrate our birthday! Sarah was one of 6 women who entered photos in our contest. Because her photo had the most votes, she has won a $50 gift certificate to Lovable Little Tree Huggers!  To take a look at the entries, viist our facebook page: www.facebook.com/lovablelittletreehuggers.
 
 
It's hard to believe that a year ago, Lovable Little Tree Huggers existed only in my mind. 

The idea to start an online natural parenting store came to me early last April and things began to take shape pretty quickly.  I found some amazing companies that I have been thrilled to work with, and after that things just took off.  Though we held our "grand opening" last October, Lovable Little Tree Huggers officially opened for business on May 5, 2010.
